Beyonce's film is a theatrical production of the
singer-songwriter's global tour this summer, spanning 57
concerts across 40 cities in North America and 14 across Europe.
The film follows a similar release by pop superstar Taylor
Swift, whose Eras Tour concert film will be distributed in
cinemas in North America starting Oct. 13.
The concert films provide cinema chains such as AMC, Cinemark
and Cineplex, with high-profile titles to help fill gaps caused
by a prolonged strike by actors and writers in Hollywood.
"Renaissance: A Film By Beyonce" is set to play in the United
States, Canada, and Mexico beginning Friday, Dec. 1, 2023, AMC
said, adding that additional global cities would be announced at
a later date.
AMC's rival Cinemark also announced that it will play the
concert film in its U.S. theaters. Both cinema chains said their
standard showtime tickets in the U.S. will start at $22.
Entertainment website Variety first reported Beyonce's talks to
release "Renaissance" through AMC.
